August Favourites

Monday, August 31, 2015
This summer has absolutely flown by. Weather wise, it's been a bit of a non event but I've still had a great time. It's been so nice to relax and not have to do anything. I've also enjoyed myself so much with exploring London with friends, dancing at V Festival and cycling around Centre Parcs being just some of the highlights of August....

Sunshine In A Bottle

Thursday, August 27, 2015
I don't think a single day of this summer has gone by without me wearing nail polish. I used to absolutely hate wearing it because I felt like it drew too much attention to my hands, but I've got over that and realised how nice it is to wear. I think there is something so relaxing about doing your nails and often it can...

A Letter To My Younger Self

Friday, August 21, 2015
When I started year 7 I had no idea how school was going to go. It felt like my GCSE's were decades away and I had loads of time. But as the years went on, they got closer and closer and crept up on me. Suddenly my whole year group was plunged into mock exams, revision sessions and mountains of things to do. I...

Well that's what's been happening to me this summer with my perfume. Next on my perfume wish list was, what I think is the most perfect summer fragrance...

August Face

Monday, August 17, 2015
So far this month I've been wearing fairly minimal makeup. Not minimal in the number of products that I'm slapping on but minimal in the sense that I don't want to look too different to how I naturally do. Normally during the summer, and when the sun is shinning, I go for bright makeup - coral blushers and bold lips but as I live...

The Best Foundation On The High-Street?

Tuesday, August 11, 2015
It's no secret that I love the L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation (£7.99) with a passion. I've spoken about it loads of times, it was the only base I wore on holiday and it's definitely a firm (July) favourite of mine. It's just the best foundation I've ever tried and I don't understand why all high-street foundations can't be like it. There are two foundations...

Be The Gaurdian Of Your Own Very Lemony Galaxy - Lush Oxford Street Exclusives

Friday, August 07, 2015
It's been a long time since I've entered the heaven that is a Lush shop but, on a recent trip to Oxford Street I went into their new flagship store and I was very disciplined and only left with two items instead of one of everything that they sell (which is what I really wanted). I picked myself up two Oxford Street Exclusives...

Last month, my boyfriend and I took a trip to Ireland to visit my family and we ended up staying with my Uncle and Auntie in Murrisk for most of the trip. Murrisk is an absolutely beautiful village in County Mayo which is on the West coast of Ireland and is home to Ireland's Holy mountain - Croagh Patrick. Now I've seen Croagh...

A Girly Chat With Andieology

Monday, August 03, 2015
source I've been reading Andie's blog - Andieology - for a while now and it's one of my favourite blogs to read ever. I love her down to earth style, super honest product reviews and her photography is beautiful. Andie herself is also so lovely and I think one of the reasons her blog appeals to me the most is because you feel...
